Cells are Gram-negative-staining but have a Gram-positive cell-wall structure; 0.8–1.0
x 3.0–4.0 µm, occurring singly. Nonmotile. Slime is produced. Elliptical and terminal
spores are produced occasionally.

Colonies are yellow-green, circular and slightly convex, 1.0–2.0 mm in diameter.
Obligate anaerobic. Optimum temperature for growth is 38 ºC. Grow at 25-45 ºC.
Optimum pH 6.7; range 6.0–7.8.
Fermentation products from cellulose and cellobiose are formic acid, acetic acid,
carbon dioxide and trace amounts of ethanol, succinic acid and lactic acid.
